INTRODUCTION 

The Bible has been regarded as a 
sealed book, its mysteries impenetrable, 
its knowledge unfathomable, its key 
lost. Even its miracles have been so 
excluded from scientific research as to 
be invested with a supernaturalism 
which forever separated them from the 
possibility of human understanding and 
rational interpretation. 

In the midst of these revolutionary 
times, it is not strange that theology 
and institutional Christianity should 

feel the foundations of their authority 
slipping from them, and a new, broader 
and more spiritual thought of man and 



God taking their places. All this is a 
part of the general awakening of man- 
kind and has not come about in a day 
or a year. It grew. It is still grow- 
ing, because the soul is eternal and 
justifies and vindicates its own unfold- 
ment. 

Some see in this new birth of man 
the annihilation of church and state, 
but others who are more informed and 
illumined, realize that the chaff and 
dross of error are being separated from 
the wheat and gold of truth and that 
only the best, and that which is for the 
highest good of mankind will remain. 

It is a pity that the church must con- 
tinually perish that the truth shall shine 
in perfect and eternal splendor. Would 



that the church could let the light of 
Divine Truth so shine that creeds, the- 
ologies and ritual might be revised to 
meet the present and progressive needs 
of the human soul. 

Religion does not depend for its 
existence upon the church, but the 
church depends upon religion. 

The moral and spiritual teachings of 
the Bible are revelations only in so far 
as they agree with truth, and truth 
alone determines the spiritual sub- 
stance of revelation. 

The church will not wholly pass 
away. What will and must die in all 
ecclesiastical institutions is that which 
limits man's freedom to know the truth. 

The Bible, no less than other books 



on religion and science must stand the 
tests of time. Its supreme importance 
to man is not its literature or history 
but its revelation. All revelation is 
from within the soul. It is mixed and 
fused with extraneous and alien matter. 
It opens one page while it closes an- 
other. No Simon pure revelation of 
truth has ever been given to the world. 
It must touch the sphere of human in- 
telligence to be perceived and received, 
and through the purest channel it is 
tinctured by personality. It must be 
adapted to the needs of the generations 
to which it is sent. It is presented in 
symbols, allegories, parables and myths. 
Its doctrines are comparative as well as 
absolute. In the one, the letter killeth, 



in the other, the spirit giveth life. Jesus 
approved of and confirmed what is here 
said when he told his disciples that "the 
spirit of truth will lead you into all 
truth, until you shall know the truth 
and the truth shall make you free." 
But "what is truth?" asked Pilate and 
the question repeats itself to every hon- 
est soul. It is never simple, because 
it is many sided. Its facets are infinite. 
At best, we can speak of the truth about 
this or that doctrine of religion, philos- 
ophy and science, but the truth like 
mathematics is self contained and sus- 
tained, infinite and eternal. 

Facts are appearances of the work- 
ing of the law of natural and spiritual 
casuality. Religion and the church, in 



the universal sense, deal with these 
spiritual facts, which are their creden- 
tials and on which they build their tech- 
nique and teaching of human and divine 
service. "Without them, religion as well 
as the church would be without the 
"witness." The supreme purpose and 
aim of the "witness," is not to extract 
it out of all relationship with the other 
credentials and material facts of life, 
but to reveal the spirit of life, which 
has no other means at hand to prove its 
transcendent and independent reality, 
except to show that whereas the mater- 
ial phenomena of life appear to spring 
up from potential matter as a fact of 
life, both are traced back to and with- 
in Spirit. This is the supreme revela- 
10 



tion of Jesus, when he affirmed, "I am 
the resurrection and the life." 

The Bible as well as the soul reveal 
clearly four specific strata or spheres 
of human unfoldment. First, the his- 
torical, second the occult, third, the 
astro theological (the Law) and fourth, 
the mystical. The latter is demon- 
strated by the statements of Jesus. "I 
and the Father are one" and "I am in 
the Father and the Father is in me." 

The first or historical is plain to 
everyone. The occult is that which is 
involved in mysteries, such as "the hid- 
den wisdom", concealed in parables, 
myths, symbols, allegories, dreams, vi- 
sions, prophesies, signs, miracles, the 

gnosis, lost word, canon, cabala, with 

11 



which the Bible abounds, but which 
must be penetrated before the object 
of the Bible as a revelation is under- 
stood. This, the ' ' thus saith the Lord, ' ' 
or the working of the Law as typified 
by the astro theological sphere makes 
clear. "God geometrizes, " wrote Ralph 
Waldo Emerson, and Pythagoras, an 
ancient Greek philosopher, had in- 
scribed on the portal of his temple, "Let 
no one enter here who is ignorant of 
geometry.' ' "There is," said the 
author of Proverbs, "a time and a place 
for everything under the sun," and 
Jesus emphasized the same truth when 
he added "every hair of your head is 
numbered. ? ' This, briefly, signifies that 

Law governs life and that that Law is 
12 



of spirit, that " action and reaction are 
equal, that whatsoever a man sows, 
that will he also reap, ' ' and that under- 
neath the operations of natural pheno- 
mena (effects and results) is the Law of 
the Spirit, revealing its absolute and 
eternal Majesty and Sovereignty in 
each form of cell, corpuscle and organ- 
ism. 

History manifests what the Law 
occultly reveals. 

The object of this book is to hint and 
reveal, so far as it is practical, the 
Secret Doctrine of the Bible, that we 
may no longer grope in darkness or 
blindness and that the seamless robe 
of Christ may be our inheritance.

LECTURE 1 

Who is Melchizedek? Biblical History. 
His Office and His Order. 

All that is known historically of 
Melchizedek is contained in the Bible, 
in Genesis 4: 18; Psalms 110 and He- 
brews 5: 6, 7. The incident which con- 
nects him with history is the story of 
how Abraham, returning to his own 
country with the spoils captured from 
Chedorlaomer who was battling Lot, 
his sons and tribe and whom Abraham 
sought to rescue, gave tithes to this 
superior functionary, Melchizedek, high 
priest of righteousness and king of 
Salem, city of peace. It relates how 

14 



this distinguished priest of the most 
high God refreshed Abraham with 
bread and wine and bestowed upon him 
his blessing, making him a priest of 
his own order, 

Who Melchizedek was is not made 
clear. Numerous speculations arise as 
to his identity. He is said to be with- 
out birth and death, father, mother and 
descent. As such, his existence is in- 
volved in mystery. He is invested with 
fanciful and mythological conceits. 
Some, however, trace him back to a 
father of one branch of the human race, 
to Shem and others to Noah. The astro 
mythological connection is even more 
obscure. He is regarded by certain 
authorities (Bryant in Analysis of An- 

15 



cient Mythology) as Sadik or Sy (Ze- 
dek), who is also identified with Cronus 
(Father Time) or Saturn, personifica- 
tions of planetary principles or gods. 
In fact, such personifications were not 
the exception, when the mystery of the 
relationship, between heavenly prin- 
ciples or astrological names and early 
historical characters as Cain, Abel, 
Noah, Abraham, Moses, are considered. 
For instance, Ab-Eam or Ab-Ea (h)am' 
could easily be translated in the two de- 
rivatives — Ab and E. A. M. or A-Bram, 
meaning "from Eight, Ascension, 
Meridian, " Ab referring to father as 
Abba is father — and Bram or Bra(h)ma 
meaning God, the name of the Hindu 
deity in the trinity of which Siva and 

16 



Visnu are the other two, Brahma being 
the God above every other God, the Ab- 
solute, Eternal, Unchanging One. Ger- 
ald Massey in "The Book of Begin- 
nings/ J " Natural Genesis,' ' and 
"Egypt, the Light of the World," elab- 
orates the source and connection of 
Egyptian Mythology and ritualistic 
mysteries with Christolatry, so that 
Biblical history and New Testament 
facts can be threshed from the mass of 
the fictitious, apocryphal, symbological 
literature which the Bible contains, 
clearing the way for an ideal, metaphy- 
sical and spiritual interpretation of 
such assumed historical persons as 
Melchizedek. 

Thus, when Melchizedek is likened 

17 



to the head of the human race, an angel, 
the son of God in human form, the Mes- 
siah, the potential representative on 
earth of the Christ and finally, the Holy 
Ghost, the student of the Secret Doc- 
trine must not be swept off his feet by 
these claims, but must diligently and 
patiently inquire how and why such 
claims have been made, and why the 
name Melchizedek has lain like gold in 
the river bed of Biblical literature over 
which the river of life itself has long 
since ceased to flow. 

It is true that historical persons 
have frequently been first canonized 
and then deified, as it is also true that 
mythological personifications of natural 
forces, laws and phenomena have been 

18 



reduced to human beings. Osirus and 
Isis, once Egyptian prince and princess, 
some thousands of years ago, became in 
due course of time king and queen, and 
after the lapse of ages, a sun God and a 
moon God that were actually worship- 
ped in temples dedicated to them. A 
similar metamorphic change and a deifi- 
cation of this sort is expected to be 
made of the late Mary Baker Eddy, 
founder of the Christian Science 
Church. A secret enmity has already 
arisen among the Roman Catholics 
against Christian Scientists because 
they see modern tendencies in that di- 
rection and fear that the throne of the 
Christian, Divine motherhood now oc- 
cupied by Mary may be usurped by 

19 



what may be called, in the terms of the 
shop, a spiritual competitor. All this 
sounds strange and uncanny to ears un- 
accustomed to the wild and audacious 
claims of supernaturalists, and Chris- 
tian Science metaphysicians, but his- 
tory often repeats itself. 

Thus the language which invests 
Melchizedek with historical authentic- 
ity disguises his real self or Divinity. 
It can be said, with much assurance of 
certainty that Melchizedek symbolically 
and mystically typifies the personifica- 
tion as well as impersonation of the 
Holy Ghost which, in Genesis for the 
first time was mentioned in human his- 
tory and made the representative em- 
blem of man's divine heredity and Pro- 
20 



vidence. Thus the Order was formed 
in the Spiritual Spheres, in the mystical 
sense and transferred to the sublime 
consciousness of a man, who was the 
alleged first enlightened God father of 
the Jews, Abraham. From him sprung 
the prophetic capacity, which is most 
virile and active among those who are 
of the Order of Melchizedek. 

The sense of exalted, dignified, ex- 
clusiveness, separateness, and august 
divinity which clothed that personality 
of the ancient Jewish prophets, was 
founded upon spiritual relationship 
which connected Abraham mystically 
with Melchizedek. Worthiness of body 
and mind, heroic and true in their con- 
secration to truth, they became the high 
21 



priests after the Order of Melchizedek, 
through whom was preserved the spirit 
of the original human vision and spirit- 
ual ideal of divine perfection, which in 
process of time, when the old school of 
major and minor prophets had closed 
their books of prophecy, the human 
realization and divine incarnation 
should come among mankind as the 
Messiah or Christ. 

It was not improbable that this di- 
vine perfection should lodge potentially 
and inactively in the soul of man, until 
kindled into a conscious vision by a di- 
vine visitation as that of an angel, an 
avatar, an epiphany, and then enter 
upon its earthly travail in the womb of 
woman and the mind of man to cele- 

22 



brate its nativity, first in prophetic vi- 
sion and afterward when cosmic and 
earthly conditions are ripe, to manifest 
in its perfect human incarnation. All 
this is hinted at in Genesis in the mys- 
terious meeting of Melchizedek and 
Abraham.

LECTURE II 

The Secret Doctrines of the Order. Its 

Myths, Mysteries, Symbolisms, 

Canons, Philosophy. 

It is a well known fact that there 
was and still is a "Secret Doctrine" 
known to the ancient and ignored by 
the modern world, although glimpsed 
by certain God conscious and illumined 
souls as prophets or seers, and great 
racial teachers, and that this doctrine 
was hinted at by Paul in his references 
in the Hebrews to the Order Melchize- 
dek. In a unique book printed in Lon- 
don 1897 and entitled, "The Canon," 
with an introduction by R. B. C. Gra- 

24 



ham, much is written about the pagan 
mystery perpetuated in the Cabala as 
the rule of all the arts. The supernal 
Adam (of the spirit or heavenly world) 
became the earthly Adam, since "the 
earth" to quote the Canon, "was philo- 
sophically considered to be the mother 
or receptive power in the planetary 
system, she was figuratively said to 
have conceived and brought forth the 
primeval man, the earth born Adam, the 
son of the supernal Adam. Thus, ac- 
cording to the Hebrews, the race of 
mortals was produced; and the spirit of 
life having been implanted in the body 
of the first man he transmitted it 
through Eve to all subsequent genera- 
tions." This sounds vague, indefinite, 

25 



unscientific, as it is to an evolutionist 
who does not accept as simple and alle- 
gorical an explanation of the origin of 
life or man on this planet. Such a solu- 
tion, however, is by the traditionalists, 
animists, cabalists and advocates of the 
Secret Doctrine treated as a myth, not 
as an historical fact, the secret of 
human origin and birth, being withheld 
from and concealed in the parabolical 
language, Nor has modern science so 
far furnished the key, either to unlock 
the mystery or to explain the myth. 

The word " involution" will help the 
student to understand the natural pro- 
gress known as evolution, the ascend- 
ing arc of life, which word involution 
psychical investigators are now throw- 



ing light upon as clearing up the false 
claims, first, of theologians as to a sup- 
ernatural human origin, rather than a 
supernormal or divine, and secondly, of 
physical scientists who deny that man 
is a human soul and his origin or her- 
edity is from God; thus by the denial, 
outlawing all other and spiritual evi- 
dences, which is included in and af- 
firmed and confirmed by the spiritual 
hypothesis. 

Bergson in " Matter and Memory" 
boldly claims that spirit has an exist- 
ence of its own, "that there is in matter 
something more than, but something 
different from, that which is actually 
given. The truth is that there is one 
and only one, method of refuting mater- 

27 



ialism, it is to show that matter is pre- 
cisely that which it appears to be. 
Thereby, we eliminate all virtuality, 
all hidden power, from matter and 
establish the phenomena of spirit as an 
independent reality. But to do this, 
we must leave to matter those qualities 
which materialists and spiritualists 
alike strip from it; the latter that they 
may make of them representations of 
the spirit, the former that they may re- 
gard them only as the accidental garb 
of space/ ' 

Thus Bergson defends the soul or 
spirit as an entity quite apart from mat- 
ter and the material world, with which 
it is associated. 

However, in the mysterious language 

28 



of Plato, the soul in its natural pil- 
grimage through life, exists in three 
distinct forms under diverse conditions. 
The human germ first exists in the body 
of man, who is the father. In the act of 
coition, it is transferred to the woman 
who is the mother, and in the third 
form, it is born into the world an inde- 
pendent human body, and as man or 
woman, it so remains until death. The 
first residence of the psychic germ is 
referred to in Hebrews 7: 9-10 "Levi 
also, who received tithes, payed tithes 
in Abraham. For he was yet in the 
loins of his father when Melchizedek 
met him. ' ' The transition from the first 
residence to the second marks the soul's 
first death and birth. This is symbol- 

29 



ized by the Phoenix, rising again after 
disintegration and dissolution. The 
Phoenix was a sacred Egyptian and 
Greek mythological bird like an eagle, 
fabled as coming out of Arabia every 
five hundred years to Heliopolis, Egypt, 
the city of the sun, where it burnt it- 
self on the altar and rose again from 
its ashes, young and beautiful. It be- 
came a perpetual type of immortality 
and the resurrection. Of course, the 
bird and the story is a myth, contain- 
ing the ancient secret doctrine of the 
immortality of soul as manifest in 
human existence, growth and evolution. 
The second stage of the soul's exist- 
ence, is when it reaches as a germ the 
womb of the woman, the abode of dark- 

30 



ness (sheol or hades of the Jews and 
Greeks), and in the third stage, as it 
issues from the womb, it has a substan- 
tial physical body and so begins its life 
as a man. 

In this body, the soul was by the an- 
cient teachers conceived as a spark of 
the divine essence of God, and so, thus 
endowed with Divinity, was capable of 
transmitting a portion of the soul with- 
in him, and being essentially immortal, 
added a "new link in the continuous 
chain of life, whose beginning was in 
heaven" — Salem, the city of peace. 

This, briefly was, what is known as 
the gnosis, or Secret Doctrine of the 
soul's birth, existence and destiny as 
taught in the Scriptures and imparted 

31 



to initiates at the celebration of the 
mysteries. Origen wrote, "We hope, 
after the troubles and struggles which 
we suffer here, to reach the highest 
heavens, and receiving, agreeably to 
the teaching of Jesus, the fountains of 
water that spring up into eternal life 
and being,t filled with the rivers of 
knowledge, shall be united with those 
waters that are said to be above the 
heavens, and which praise His name. 
As many of us as praise Him shall not 
be carried about by the revolution of 
the heaven (reincarnation?) but shall 
ever be engaged in the contemplation 
of the invisible things."* This was the 



f See John 4. 

* Against Celsus, Book 6, Chapter 20. 

32 



meaning of the Egyptian, Jewish and 
Greek mysteries, tracing all souls back, 
thread by thread, from son to father, 
culminating in the earth born Adam, 
and finally in the upward swing of the 
arc, after the downward swing of the 
arc of the circle had been completed, 
they hoped and believed that when 
death came, they would ascend (by the 
seven spirits or angels — the planets) 
into the firmament to join the choir of 
the stars, whence they issued. 

The fall of man we know can now be 
satisfactorily explained, not by the in- 
tent or accident of a theological fall or 
by a doctrine of total depravity, but by 
a mystical gnosis, scientifically and phi- 
losophically explained by the involu- 

33 



tion of the soul in matter, or by the four 
verities* of Buddha as applied to the 
soul's human descent, and ascent as 
typified in the creation and generation 
of souls in the first Adam, and by the 
teachings of Jesus. For it is mystically 
stated by Paul, "As in Adam all die, so 
in Christ shall all be made alive." The 
gnosis or Secret Doctrine is the same 
essentially in all ethnic religions, could 
we but cultivate the inner sense of the 
meanings of parables, symbols, myths 
and cabala. 

The canon of this gnosis or Secret 



* Buddha taught that existence is caused by desire. 
His first verity is "Pain exists. " Second verity, "The 
cause of pain is desire or attachment. ' ' Third verity, 
"Pain can be ended by Nirvana. " Fourth verity, "The 
way is shown to Nirvana." 

34 



Doctrine was given by word of mouth 
by master builders and teachers called 
priests from temples in which they offi- 
ciated, to the initiated, who according to 
the customs of the times concealed the 
teachings and the mysteries often in 
contradictory, grotesque and foolish 
symbolisms, for which the wise only 
held the key. Again, the gnosis was hid- 
den away in the architectural plans of 
certain monuments as the pyramid and 
sphinx and in temples and cathedrals, 
as Solomon's temple and the cathedral 
of Milan. Homer wove it into his H- 
liad. Dante, incorporated it in his Di- 
vine Comedy, Milton in his story of 
Paradise Lost. Canonical theology 
and philosophy buried it in their sacred 

35 



palimpsests. The epic story of the 
soul, is retold in the fourth chapter of 
John's Gospel, where Jesus addresses 
the woman of Samaria. Theology which 
was once astrology, became such to con- 
ceal the Secret Doctrine from the world- 
ly wise and prudent, for the same rea- 
son that alchemy became chemistry and 
astrology became astronomy, and so the 
Secret Doctrine was temporarily lost, at 
least, to those who preferred to receive 
orders from a Babel of confusion, rather 
than from the pillar of fire by night and 
the cloud of light by day.

LECTURE III 

The Secret Doctrine on Four Planes of 
Expression and Manifestation. 

In the metaphysical analysis of 
' ' Ehy e Asher Ehy se ' ', (I am that I am) , 
the mystical source of the self con- 
sciousness, (ego or person) is contrasted 
with the consciousness of the Self, Di- 
vinity or God — the objective I or I ob- 
jectified, with the subjective I or I sub- 
jectified. The former is conditioned by 
time, space and the necessity of exper- 
ience, the latter is unconditioned, free. 
In the one, the ego is unaware and un- 
conscious of its divinity, in the other it 
is quite aware and conscious of it. 

37 



In the Secret Doctrine of the Bible, 
it is taught that there are four elements 
and four principles, as well as four 
manifestations and expressions of life. 
The four elements are fire (oxygen), 
water (hydrogen), air (nitrogen) earth 
(carbon), necessary to organism or 
manifestation, and the four principles 
are divine or spiritual, psychic, mental 
and physical, necessary to expression. 

Divinity or spirit, soul, mind, body 
constitute the four corner stones of life 
and have reference to the North, East, 
West and South, (NEWS), on which 
broadly speaking, the foundation of the 
Universe (Solomon ? s Temple) is built 
or established. This was implied in the 
plan of Solomon ? s temple, the outer 



38 



court for the Gentiles (physical), the 
inner court for the Jews (mental), and 
the Holy of Holies for the high priest 
(psychic), where the fourth or Divine 
is realized. The physical, mental, psy- 
chic depend upon the Divine Being, 
thus completing the circle around the 
square of existence. 

Fire among the alchemists and 
mystics has been symbolized by the sun, 
as water by the moon, the one 
masculine, (having the rose for its floral 
emblem) and the other feminine, (hav- 
ing the lily for its floral emblem). Fire 
is positive (magnetic) and water is 
electric or negative. Among the Hin- 
dus, fire is sacred to Siva and water to 
Vishnu, while the air (breath or spirit) 

39 



would be sacred to Brahma, the third in 
the triune nature of the Hindu God- 
head. As fire destroys outward form, 
Siva was called the destroyer, the 
father, and ruled over life and death, 
and as water preserves, Vishnu was 
called the preserver, and ruled over 
motherhood and children. 

Fire has its metaphysical correpon- 
dent and symbolizes the active mind, 
the senses, the objective life, while 
water symbolizes the passive mind, the 
affections, the subjective life. 

The sun germinates and generates 
life from seed by transforming the seed 
into its living potential form. Thus it 
is a destroyer. But the seed does not 
germinate until moistened by water. 

40 



And so the moon, ruling the water, the 
tides, woman, preserves the life in a 
form peculiar to its kind. Thus Siva 
and Vishnu, active and passive prin- 
ciples of deity (likened to light and 
darkness, heat and cold, evil and good) 
rule over spring and summer, autumn 
and winter respectively. 

Manifestation is outer and physical 
(phenomenon), while expression is in- 
ner and mental, psychic and spiritual 
(neumonon). So that it can be said 
that the expression of the soul is to 
the sphere what the manifestation is to 
the plane of life. This must be kept 
continuously in mind if the student 
hopes to master the Secret Doctrine of 
the Bible. For how will he understand 

41 



such mystical and occult sayings as this 
one of Hermes Tris Megistus, " As it is 
above, so is it below ; as it is within, so 
it is without," and " whatever exists 
upon the earth in an earthly form, ex- 
ists in the heavens in a heavenly form. " 
And this profound saying of Iamblicus, 
"the day time of the body is the night 
time of the soul; the night time of the 
body is the day time of the soul." 
Spheres thus reflect their contents and 
substance on corresponding and kindred 
planes, according to the law of expres- 
sion and manifestation. Gerald Massey 
thought that this correspondence is 
comprehended by the law of dissimili- 
tude. 

The soul, in fact, all life, essentially 



42 



spirit, functions on the four planes and 
in the four spheres, designated by the 
words, physical, mental, psychical and 
spiritual and is of one essence in all 
forms of expression and manifestation. 
The soul or spirit does not create 
matter, but uses it. It vitalizes cells, 
attracts and arranges atoms, determines 
and disposes of the quality of the phy- 
sical substance, and by its thought, feel- 
ing and character builds and destroys 
forms and transforms its body into the 
images (subjects and objects) it loves. 
Thus, the physical body and the human 
personality are related integrally to the 
psychic, spiritual and Divine Entity.* 



Entity is here employed to include one's Divinity. 
43 



It is a well known and established 
teaching in the Secret Doctrine of the 
Bible, that the ladder on which Jacob 
(the soul expressing itself) saw angels 
ascending and descending, is none other 
than the expression of the technique or 
Secret Doctrine applied to the soul's 
own powers or spiritual faculties, 
which, transcending the sphere and 
limitations of the senses and faculties 
of the natural man, afford a means of 
escape from time and space and the 
obsessions of the human brain to bask 
in the infinitude of eternity, where time 
is no more, and where the soul itself is 
free to live untrammeled by the flesh. 

Abraham on the plains of Mamre ' 
realizes that the soul is never born and 

44 



never dies. This followed his initiation 
into the Order of Melchizedek, who hon- 
ored him by placing upon his shoulders 
the mantle of authority, the symbol of 
his illumined consciousness and so made 
him a high priest of spiritual revelation. 
Jacob, symbolizes the soul in the act of 
expressing as well as unfolding itself, 
while Isaac, is the symbol of all per- 
sonal and physical sacrifices which each 
one must and will make, who aspires to 
be a high priest of the Order of Melchi- 
zedek, or, who, having obtained mem- 
bership, is now serving at the altar of 
truth and helping others to do the same. 
Now it is strange that the meaning of 
the word miracle should have been con- 
fused or mixed with the word superna 

45 



tural, for the two words become mean- 
ingless in human psychology. What 
the soul cannot do and God can, make 
the soul's efforts seem helpless and 
hopeless. But when the soul's divinity 
is involved in God, both being of one 
essence, will, intelligence and life, the 
words miracle and supernatural become 
intelligible in the supreme, divine re- 
sults which are attained by supreme di- 
vine efforts, the divinity of the soul ex- 
pressing its divine attributes as omni- 
presence, omnipotence, omniscience and 
perfect love, attributes which are po- 
tential qualities of the soul and demon- 
strable on the four planes of expres- 
sion. If supernaturalism suggests the 
idea of deus ex machina (a deity out- 

46 



side the machine), and the word mir- 
acle, an act of such a deity, then the 
idea is unnatural and erroneous. If, on 
the other hand, the soul can and does 
express its divinity, so that it sees, hears 
and feels beyond the power, law and 
limitation of the senses, these results 
are not to be accepted as supernatural, 
however, they are to be classified as 
supernormal (above the normal), and 
are not miracles*, because they occur 
under divine law. The Secret Doctrine 
of the Bible assures us that the inner 
sense of the Scripture depends upon the 
use we make of our psychic and spir- 



* A miracle is an act or result which takes place 
by the suspension of natural law by the direct fiat of 
God. 

47 



itual powers. And only the mystic who 
realizes that his divinity and its powers 
alone are a lamp to his feet and a light 
to his intelligence has a right to nego- 
tiate his powers and personality in this 
divine business. Does our coin bear the 
superscription of Caesar or of God? 

If the Secret Doctrine of the Bible 
makes demands upon us and these de- 
mands when obeyed condition results, 
he would be foolish who expected to 
stand on the outer court of the temple, 
and hope to receive results which be- 
long to those who have prepared them- 
selves to be worthy of the Holy of 
Holies. Even such as are admitted to 
the inner court may see the vision 
clearer and hear the voice deeper, be- 

48 



cause of the degree of spiritual attain- 
ment, but they must prepare them- 
selves for what is yet to come. Mere 
intellectuality, culture or refinement, 
however, or self love, egotism and am- 
bition lead to a fool's paradise; and yet 
without intellectuality, culture and re- 
finement a student cannot attain nor 
master the Secret Doctrine. Truth is 
not simple, except to one who knows 
everything. The more we know the 
more we confess how little we know. 
How silly to think that truth can be 
known in one short life? What Sir 
Isaac Newton said is true of all learned 
men, "I seem to have picked up but a 
few shells along the seashore — the great 
ocean of truth still lies infinite before 

49 



me." So, as we overcome human na- 
ture on the physical plane, having 
learned the folly or evil of self in- 
dulgence, by self mastery and the en- 
lightenment of our senses, we pass 
from the outer court (earth plane) of 
the Gentiles and the uninitiated, to the 
inner court of those who have learned 
their first lessons. Here the mental 
(water) and psychic (air) planes en- 
gage our earnest and patient attention. 

Some study the connection, relation 
and correspondence between the psych- 
ical and mental planes a long time, be- 
fore they realize that in order to make 
supernormalism a beneficent power, 
each supernormal faculty as well as the 

50 



will must be consciously under the con- 
trol of ones divinity. 

To indulge supernormalism for it- 
self alone is as dangerous and reaction- 
ary as to induldge one's senses. 

Obsessions must yield to self posses- 
sion, outward attractions to one's per- 
sonal choice of divine freedom, sover- 
eignty, and no one can be a master, who 
allows self interest, curiosity or self in- 
dulgence to control his thought or ac- 
tion. 

The impersonal enjoyment of the 
spiritual life will guard and protect one 
from the blind alleys and temptations 
which lead to darkness and misery. 
Among those who have been delegated 
the called, few are " chosen" to become 

51 



the disciples, to say naught of becom- 
ing the perpetual high priests after the 
Order of Melchizedek. If the soul must 
be born of water (mind), and fire 
(spirit), the physical man (generation- 
vitality) becomes transmuted into the 
divine man (regeneration-life). The 
active physical now passive becomes 
the passive spiritual, so that the phy- 
sical is transformed by the spiritual 
now active. 

This is the Secret Doctrine of the 
Bible concerning the spiritual birth, 
which Nicodemus as a materialist, could 
not grasp. John, the beloved disciple, 
understood, because in his gospel, he 
taught the Secret Doctrine, announcing 
the same to the initiates, in the very 

52 



first chapter. It is the logos, which 
when received from the Illuminate, 
qualified one to be of the Order of Mel- 
chizedek. 



53 



LECTURE IV 

The Christ Psychology and Christian 
Mysticism, 

It may here be asked, what was and 
is the purpose of the Secret Doctrine, 
which endured through the ages, per- 
petuated by prophets and is commun- 
icated to us in the silence* and by the 
spiritual Order of Melchizedek? The 
Holy Spirit, indefinable to vulgar in- 
telligences, is an ever present spirit of 
truth, indwelling in all spiritually min- 
ded and illuminated souls by which 



* Pythagoras it is said, enjoined six years of silence 
on his disciples. To be a mystic one must learn how 
to seal eyes, ears and lips to what is seen, heard and 
spoken. When such silence is attained, one learns how 
to commune with God. 

54 



truth is revealed concerning spiritual 
realities. The august presence of God 
could not approach nearer to us than 
does the Holy Spirit of truth. 

There is however a divine technique 
which is concealed and revealed in the 
Bible, called the Christ psychology, 
which Jesus taught in the parables of 
the Five Talents and the Five Wise 
Virgins, and which Paul hinted at in 
Corinthians 11 : 15. Obscure and veiled 
as their textual meanings are, the Sec- 
ret Doctrine expounds their hidden 
meaning in unmistakable clearness. 

Divinity, central in the soul, can 
illuminate the mind and life, enlighten 
the senses, add a divine range to sight 
and hearing and so permeate the soul, 

55 



with its radiant and pure light as to 
transform ecce homo (Lo, the human!) 
at once into ecce deus (Lo, the God!) 
This is to be accepted, not only theoret- 
ically, but can be spiritually demon- 
strated. Biblical and secular creden- 
tials can be cited in proof of this. 

Religions, among all the nations of 
the world articulate one central fact 
that life is essentially spirit and divine. 
It is not born of matter although asso- 
ciated with it. It is eternal, and there- 
fore, the soul is immortal. This is the 
ever recurring theme of pure Christian- 
ity, "I am the resurrection and the 
life/' 

To prove one's Divinity and make it 
a conscious, helpful principle of one's 

56 



life, is the supreme end of religion. All 
of its prophets declared this message. 
The martyrs died for it. And yet to 
day a false metaphysics and theology, 
advocated in part by the Christian 
church, has made the spiritual fact of 
the survival of the personality after 
death and the innate potential divinity 
of the soul a gift of God to the few, a 
miracle of salvation, and not the greater 
fact of universal, human, divine life 
which death cannot affect nor destroy. 
In Metaphysics and Christian Sci- 
ence "God has been hitched to busi- 
ness," as though any kind of ill begot- 
ten prosperity is of His will and Provi- 
dence. And yet it is a well known fact 
that Jesus chose to be poor (in worldly 

57 



goods), that he might devote his entire 
time to divine service and that he might 
be rich in Godliness and toward God; 
in short, that he might not be influenced 
or obsessed by riches as might follow, 
if worldly ambition or attachment con- 
trolled him. Any sophist that makes 
God, who is no respector of persons, 
favor one class whom he blesses with 
wealth, and disfavor another class 
whom he curses with poverty, has an 
effete, tribal conception of God, Money, 
prosperity, wealth and their opposites, 
are largely matters of our desires, 
labor and ingenuity and the scrip- 
tural justification of the prosperity of 
the righteous is in the fact that they 

58 



employ righteous, business methods to 
obtain, accumulate and spent riches. 
The rich are not rich or prosperous 
because only of their righteousness, nor 
the poor poor because only of their 
wickedness, but because the business of 
acquiring wealth even as a gift, de- 
mands of us certain social and economic 
qualities, which if we obey or disobey 
produce certain results. This is en- 
dorsed by Jesus who gave a luminous 
exposition of it in the parable of the 
five talents, when he emphasized the 
law of thrift and work in the accumula- 
tion of money, five talents employed 
bringing five more, and actually con- 
demned the man who hid his one talent 
in a napkin in the earth and as a result 

59 



of his indolence and stupidity, lie had 
even that one taken from him. No one 
denies that justice, kindness, fair deal- 
ing, right thinking are a part of the 
business of becoming prosperous, but 
one may be all this, and if trusting only 
in God and seldom or never working to 
be prosperous, expecting prosperity to 
come miraculously as a result of his 
trust, he will remain where he is the 
rest of his natural life. 

Not a few imagine that righteous- 
ness is a sort of hocus pocus or magic 
by which one is favored and blessed and 
another dishonored and afflicted. As 
it is with a seed before and after it is 
put into the good soil, so is it with our 
ideals, desires, thoughts. God helps us 

60 



through conditions. He helps those 
who help themselves. And no sophis- 
try is more heretical of truth, more in- 
sidious and deadly in our lives than the 
assumption that God is a respector of 
persons and not a respector of the Di- 
vine Law, that He can and does favor 
one class who disobey the law in prac- 
tice and disfavors another class who 
obey it in theory only. 

Mere affirmations, vain repetitions, 
ecstatic phrasing of texts, which are 
not put into practise, count for nothing. 

The Secret Doctrine first of all estab- 
lishes the reign of Law on all planes of 
life and our attainments and obtain- 
ments result from strict compliance 

61 



with spiritual and scientific conditions,* 
established by the Law. Indeed such is 
the relationship between causes and ef- 
fects and their resultant causes and ef- 
fects, that the Law of Justice is not 
mocked, each soul reaping whatever it 
sows, not in the sense of rewards or 
punishments, but only in the deeper 
sense of spiritual and natural conse- 
quences. 

The Christ psychology begins with 
the divine and ends with the human 
order of will, intelligence, feeling and 
life. God's will is expressed in the uni- 
verse as Law, — not caprice, order — not 



* Cor. 2: 14. "The natural man receiveth not the 
things which are of the spirit of God, for they are 
foolishness to him; neither can he know them, for they 
are spiritually discerned." 

62 



chaos; intelligence — not chance or acci- 
dents; love — not hate; life — not death. 
And the use we make of our willing, 
thinking and feeling as each one wills, 
thinks and feels, is registered in the 
character of. his life. Thus the Law not 
only governs and finds its supreme 
justification in one's divinity, whence it 
originates, but in humanity, not only in 
the spiritual, but the natural world. For 
our divinity is in our humanity and the 
character of humanity is a negative or 
positive result of the expression of our 
divinity. It is the same Law governing 
the divine and natural man in the spir- 
itual and natural world. The Christ 
psychology which differs in name only 
from the New Psychology hypothecates 

63 



Divinity as the fundamental key to the 
solution of the problems of man's life. 
It builds its technique on spiritual facts 
and knowledge. It proves its proposi- 
tions by supersensuous or spiritual evi- 
dences. 

These evidences to the natural man, 
who has not yet been enlightened or in- 
itiated into spiritual mysteries, are fool- 
ishness. But facts are stubborn things 
and persist until properly tabulated in 
the category of spiritual realities. 

The mystical and scientific connec- 
tion between humanity and Divinity is 
established by the New and Christ* 
psychology. 

* Christ is the word employed to express psych- 
ological facts and processes which prove the soul to be 
potentially immortal and divine. 
64 



Supernormalism defines the scien- 
tific, psychic operations, faculties and 
results, when one functions on the sub- 
jective or spiritual side of his nature; 
but only when such functioning is dedi- 
cated to divine and unselfish ends can it 
be qualified as the application of the 
philosophy of the Christ psychology. 
Supernormal psychology is fully and 
exhaustively explained in the work by 
the author on "The New Psychology " 
and one should study and master it, to 
get an intelligent conception of the 
scope of this branch of the Christ 
psychology as it explains spiritual facts, 
which transcend the power of the nor- 
mal senses and faculties to apprehend 
or explain. While these facts can be 

65 



detached from physical causes and laws, 
they are none the less associated with 
them by causes which govern and in- 
terpenetrate them, as the ether and 
fourth dimension interpenetrate matter 
and its three dimensions in time and 
space. What is needed by the soul is the 
mystical vision, which centralized with- 
in the soul, where the spirit of God and 
our spirit become, as it were, fused into 
one and the same life and consciousness, 
reveals the unmistakable difference be- 
tween the objective power and life of 
man and the same power and life when 
governed by and proceding from his 
divinity. 

The Secret Doctrine affords a near 
vision and realization of the essential 

66 



self, one's divinity, mystically uniting 
the soul to God, the supreme and Ab- 
solute Intelligence, where what is law- 
fully fixed (as matter) in time and 
space, but lawfully free in spirit, can be 
transformed and made to manifest the 
higher, more sublime uses of the divine 
will and power, co-ordinating with the 
lower, mental faculties a<nd powers, to 
reveal the occult and divine ends, which 
the physical and chemical laws of mat- 
ter subserve. This explains how the 
alleged miracles and supernaturalism 
of the Bible are not suspensions of na- 
tural law, nor violations of Divine prin- 
ciples, but the clear and undeniable evi- 
dences of law, under the soul's own di- 
vine sovereignty. 

67 



Such mystical communion between 
one's higher self* or Divinity and God, 
concerns the ego or self in the divine 
life, in the super consciousness, rather 
than in one's use of supernormal pow- 
ers on the normal or supernormal plane. 
Mystical experiences must be and are 
universal and unique. Many have en- 
joyed them, especially prophets, mys- 
tics, philosophers, poets, avatars, great 
teachers. These experiences are called 
religious because they concern the di- 
vine life and God, but they should never 
be confused with merely supernormal 

* Ego is the personal "I." Divinity is the Divine 
I or self universal as an entity individualized and po- 
tential in all souls. The personality is the ego ob- 
jectified in the natural man or subjectified in the spirit- 
ual man. The personal ego depends upon the Divine 
I for its existence. 

68 



experiences; for while they are most 
useful and inevitable in the attainment 
of spiritual realizations, they are not 
directly and integrally of the imper- 
sonal spirit or the God consciousness. 
Such experiences are individual, and 
concrete, inasmuch as they relate both 
to Divine Guidance and human needs, 
but they are distinctly mystical as was 
the vision of the Christ to Paul while 
he was on the road to Damascus. Sin- 
gular as such experiences are, they are 
of the universal Spirit, and whether in 
form of vision or voice, they enter the 
soul only when the soul is either ec- 
statically in communion with God, or 
as in the case of Paul, when the time 
has come for the soul to end its futile 

69 



search after truth, and so to react its 
life from the standpoint of divine con- 
viction and mental illumination as to 
enter joyfully, freely into the larger, 
Messianic and apostolic service. The 
meteor as well as the sun roll on orbits 
concentric with the ellipse, where the 
light and darkness part company for- 
ever. He who would find himself must 
move toward the center where God is 
and where the two wills, human and 
divine, unite and fuse at last into one. 
It is supremely important that if 
one is of the Order of Melchizedek that 
he think, love and work in the outer 
court of the Gentiles as he serves in 
the Holy of Holies. One light, that of 
Divinity burns in singular purity in 

70 



what ever he does and wherever he is! 
It is not astonishing, therefore, that 
the word mystery and mysticism should 
be derived from the same root. He who 
incredulously and blindly permits the 
ego to function on only the sensuous, 
objective plane of consciousness, ignor- 
antly inhibiting the soul's interior, 
larger and deeper expression of life and 
power in the sphere of its supersensu- 
ous, transcendant, subjective and 
subliminal consciousness, of course, will 
deny the reality of spiritual and mysti- 
cal experiences; but, the moment the 
ego is disenthralled from the senses and 
liberated from the self imposed obses- 
sions of its desires, and these very de- 
sires are destroyed, then the ego is free 

71 



as was Paul to enjoy consciously the 
reveries, ecstacies, visions, voices of his 
soul, of angels and ministering spirits, 
as sent of God and as a part of the order 
of his divinity and destiny. 

To seal the lips, close the eyes, and 
ears, is the first condition in concentra- 
tion, which concerns the center of being 
and Divinity, and not any one par- 
ticular subject or object of conscious- 
ness and life. Such centralization of 
thought, first, and then of the ego, re- 
leases the soul from bondage to sense 
attachments, mental habits of reaction 
and nervo-psychic automatisms and for- 
tifies it against similar, sensuous temp- 
tations. A divine feeling (divine love) 
and thinking (truth) and being (God) 

72 



transforms the nature of the soul and 
so, by its divinity, it is in the earth but 
not of it, it is living the normal life as 
master, under the Christ principle, and 
not as the obsessed, controlled slave of 
the carnal mind and life. To this end 
the Christ psychology leads and as it 
leads the soul, the mystic union between 
man and God is established. 



73 



LECTURE V 

The Key — How Applied. Divine 
Realization and Illumination. 

Mysticism leads to divine realiza- 
tion and illumination. Its supreme 
purpose is to clear the consciousness of 
all veils, shadows, mists, obsessions, in- 
hibitions, habits, prejudices, objective 
and subjective obstructions which de- 
flect, but do not reflect Divinity. A 
realization of one's own Divinity is 
tantamount to the attainment of God 
consciousness, which is known and de- 
fined by eastern mystics as the super 
consciousness, because it is paramount 
to all other forms of it. 

74 



The Secret Doctrine would not be 
either secret or sacred were it to di- 
vulge knowledge which could avail the 
charlatan or the magician. Therein lie 
its safeguard and peculiarity. The 
knowledge it reveals is supernormalism 
plus mysticism. A free use of super- 
normal powers employed for personal 
or selfish purposes is possible and prac- 
tical, but it leads to the blind alleys of 
spiritual occultation. Such use of our 
powers is discouraged, if for no other 
reason than that it frequently leads to 
dementia. Persons, not students, who 
defy scientific and divine warnings of 
seers, psychological experts and teach- 
ers of mysticism, and refuse to obey 
conditions, "rushing in where angels 



fear to tread," have no one to blame 
but themselves for the disasters which 
overtake them. The Secret Doctrine 
is exact and severe in demanding the 
spiritual life as of paramount import- 
ance among students of occult science, 
experimenters, demonstrators. This life 
is impersonal, universal, cosmic, and 
the foundation on which is built the 
conscious perception of spiritual reve- 
lation, divine realization and illumina- 
tion. 

Supernormalism is not mediumship. 
It affirms self-possession, freedom and 
conscious sovereignty against obses- 
sion, control and unconscious depend- 
ency. The phrase spiritual gifts, em- 
ployed by Paul (Corinthians 14) refers 

76 



to supernormalism, not mecliumship or 
supernaturalism. Supernaturalism as 
used by theologians implies an acci- 
dental or sporadic happening impos- 
sible under natural and spiritual law, 
traceable to an alleged fiat of God, to 
whom spontaneity of action is a privi- 
lege inexplicable to human reason, even 
in the absolute perfection of the Divine 
Will. Evolution, in a divine sense, im- 
plies involution, but does not deny the 
innate, potential, ultimate perfection of 
the soul. Creation suggests recreation, 
as generation, regeneration and death, 
the resurrection. Supernormalism sig- 
nifies no accidental fiat of God, because 
His eternal plan failed or because the 
soul from birth in matter could and 

77 



would not save itself from ignorance, 
weakness, sin and sickness as does the 
word supernaturalism, but affirms the 
enfolded, involved potentialities of di- 
vine being, which, when expressed, 
prove one's divinity and mystically as- 
sociates man with God. This is im- 
portant to perceive, for when it is un- 
derstood, one can understand the differ- 
ence between mediumship which is 
largely an organic and psychic pecul- 
iarity of human nature, than a spiritual 
attainment, as is illustrated by the com- 
parative meanings of the words medium 
and adopt, or magician and necroman- 
cer, sorcerer and hierophant, prophet 
and Christ. There can be no mistake in 
either scientific or spiritual definitions. 

78 



The impersonal, divine use of powers, 
whether normal or supernormal, makes 
the degree of difference between the one 
set of words and the other, which the 
word, supernaturalism does not convey 
except to make confusion more con- 
founded. 

Supernaturalism implies miracle, 
while supernormalism implies mystery, 
which science can explain. To see, hear, 
feel spiritually, so that one can function 
on the astral plane, see visions, hear 
voices, commune with spiritual beings 
in the spiritual world, telepath, receive 
inspirations and revelations conscious- 
ly, prophesy, heal, interpret visions, 
know the deep things of God, — to do 
these things may be mysterious, but not 

79 



miraculous, which a knowledge of sup- 
ernormalism will readily explain. So 
that it is ignorance which makes super- 
normal attainments seem miracles, but 
it is knowledge which dissolves the 
mystery. 

The connecting link between man 
and God, morals and revelation, the lost 
key, the stone which the builders re- 
jected, metaphysically conceived, the 
psychology which was the lost word and 
discovered cabalistically mixed with 
chimera, fantasy, parables, myths, sym- 
bols, conceits of all kinds, is supernorm- 
alism, which furnishes the true foun- 
dation on which mysticism or divine 
realization are founded. This the 
Secret Doctrine of the Bible recovers 

80 



and restates in intelligible language, so 
that no one need grope any more in 
darkness or ignorance/ 

Melchizedek, so long mysteriously 
and remotely connected with man's 
earliest life, thought and destiny, is no 
longer to be esteemed an historical man 
without birth and lineage, but Divinity, 
personated as the Holy Spirit or the 
Spirit of Truth, which is indwelling 
within every human soul, and prepar- 
ing humanity for its highest orders, to 
be a perpetual priest at the divine altar,

where, as in the Holy of Holies, the pure 
white spirit burns with an ineffable and 
inextinguishable glory. The lamp may 
become useless, the oil be burnt up, the 
wick die down to a mere bit of carbon, 
but the soul with its radiant, eternal 
light will shine on and on forever. 

Supernormal psychology is a lamp 
to man's feet. It orders his mind to a 
cosmic scheme, and keys his heart to a 
celestial vibration. It reveals his 
eternality and infinity in his Divinity. 
It explains the reason of Law and the 
Law of reason. It proves the Bible to 
be as the fig tree, concealing the fruit 
under the shadow of its literature, or 
as the cocoanut, containing the water of 
life within its historical shell. 

82 



It shows that Adam and Eve, were 
not the first father and mother of the 
human race, but the electro magnetic 
type of the active and passive principle 
of the universe, in which, as in the 
human organism, the soul short circuits 
God, to find that he can cut himself 
temporarily from his supply and Divin- 
ity, only to be forced by the negative 
and positive law of his being, (action 
and reaction) to find life and immortal- 
ity, unity and oneness in the very God, 
in whom he ignorantly lives, moves and 
has his being. This is the science of 
eternal life. Mere existence, is nothing. 
Divine realization is everything. The 
conscious knowledge that in the sover- 
eign power of Divine love, the soul dis- 

83 



covers God, as in the passion of human 
love, it loses God, is the sublime and 
perpetual revelation of religion, which 
occult physiology explains as the macu- 
late and immaculate conception of the 
incarnation of God, in the human race, 
and which occult psychology reveals as 
the inhibition and exhibition of the 
super consciousness, the Christ life, 
wherein our own Divinity denies or 
bears witness to God. 

Man in the microcosm and God in 
the macrocosm are of one divine Being. 
The soul's triumph over the flesh and 
carnal mind demonstrates its celestial 
origin and destiny. Melchizedek, with- 
out birth or death, family or genealogj^, 
clothing, Abraham (historical man) 

84 



with the mantle of his majestic and so\ 

ereign Divinity, typifies that our Divin- 
ity — the Divinity of man, thus sheltered 
and protected through the ages, — like 
the lily in the mud, will rise to express 
the Christ, and affirm. "I am the Resur-

DIVINE SCIENCE AND ITS BRANCHES 

WITH TECHNIQUE OR PRACTICAL 

DEMONSTRABLE METHODS 



Your Need Supplied. 



COURSE 1. 

Divine Science of Healing. 

Jesus is not on earth now to tell the 
sick, worried, hopeless, miserable how 
to be well, happy and strong. His 
teaching, however, is here, and a few 
are gifted with divine inspiration and 
practical divine knowledge in the 
science of healing which he taught to 
reveal the secret of the doctrine to oth- 



ers. It can be learned. The patient 
can put its technique into practice and 
resurrect himself by his own Divine 
Will, Power and Life. " Those that are 
whole need no physician." True, but 
those that are sick need a metaphysi- 
cian. 

Method of Technique. 

So called miracles of Healing 
wrought thousands of years ago are pos- 
sible today. Dr. Grumbine presents 
the science in a simple, lucid, luminous, 
practical way, within the reach of all. 
Truth is like a key. It opens all doors 
of possibility if you possess the key. 
Dr. Grumbine presents you the key. 
Have you studied his course? Your 

87 



education is not complete without it. 
This is admitted by all who know. 

For the benefit of the New Thoughter. 
Who is Dr. Grumbine? 

He was a pioneer New Thoughter, be- 
fore there were any National or Local 
Centers. He is a Metaphysician, a 
Teacher of Divine Science, The New 
Psychology and Christian Mysticism, 
and has been before the public since 
1888, with nearly thirty years on the 
New Thought platform. Among his 
students who afterwards became teach- 
ers and practitioners are Kate Atkinson 
Boehme, author, Dr. Julia Seton, Lucy 
C. McGee, Boston, Mrs. Mary C. Cha- 
pin, New York City, and many others. 
The press is unanimous in his praise.

1 ' The Fello wslt ip Messenger, ' ' Omaha, Nebraska, 
writes: "For a year and a half past I have pro- 
moted a great many Metaphysical lectures, but 
there has been nothing equal in soundness and 
catholicity of its teaching to that which Dr. 
Grumbine in promulgating. ' ' 

Kate Atkinson Boehme, New Thought Author 
and Healer, wrote: "Such richness of thought, 
diversity of expression and originality of con- 
ception are rarely combined in one individual." 

"The Harbinger of Light," Melbourne, Aus- 
tralia, wrote: "As a teacher it is questionable if 
his superior, for the past thirty years at least, 
has been on the platform.' ' 

"Lillian Whiting/' author "The World Beauti- 
ful," etc., wrote: "Your work is marvelous — 

epoch making."

THE SYSTEM OF PHILOSOPHY 
CONCERNING DIVINITY. 

Mail Course. 

Correspondence School, Established 
1894, by J. C. F. Grumbine, B. D., 
Fellow of the Society of Science, 
Letters and Arts, London, Eng- 
land, Noted Author, World Trav- 
eller and Member of the National 
Geographical Society. A Teacher 
of Divine Science, the Spiritual 
Philosophy, Including Theosophy 
and the New Psychology. 
It is known to all the world, that Di- 
vine Science, affirming the reality of 
Spirit and Divinity of the soul, is true, 
admitted to be so by the most eminent 
scientists — Sir Oliver Lodge, Camille 

92 



Mammarion, Sir William Crookes, the 
late Dr. Frederick Meyer, Signor Lom- 
broso, Dr. Hodgson and Professor 
James and numerous other leaders in 
chemistry, psychology, physics, litera- 
ture and the church. 

Our duty now is to express our sup- 
ernormal powers, in a sane, conscious, 
scientific manner and to realize our 
Divinity. 

Our supernormal or psychical pow- 
ers can be arranged into two distinct 
classes. By powers we mean our abil- 
ity or capacity to express our divinity, 
hold communion with the spiritual 
world, function on the supernormal 
planes, to heal, to telepath, to learn 
one's vocation in life, so as to be suc- 

93 



cessful, prosperous, and well and to ob- 
tain intromission to celestial knowledge 
and revelations, to exercise all the di- 
vine powers which hitherto have been 
regarded as impossible, and superna- 
tural. 

Mr. Grumbine specializes on super- 
normal psychology. He cannot empha- 
size too strongly the fact that all pos- 
sess supernormal powers, and should 
express them. It is divine to do so and 
a help to the higher life. 

Supernormal powers are natural. 
We are conscious, free, independent, 
when we become supernormal. The 
supernormal powers are spiritual 
seeing, hearing, feeling, seership, pre- 
vision, psychometry, intuition, realiza- 

94 



tion, illumination, healing, ecstasy, tele- 
pathy, divine inspiration, projection of 
the double, functioning on the astral 
plane, consciously. These we all can ex- 
press — some to a greater degree than 
others, because they will spend more 
time and be more earnest in their ef- 
forts. 

What is claimed can be done for all 
is being done for each student by 
Grumbine's System, and your testi- 
mony will be added when you study the 
profound but simple System which he 
teaches. 

Take Theosophy; Dr. Grumbine af- 
fords the initiated or inner circle a very 
esoteric and practical teaching. There 
is nothing sectarian about the teach- 

95 



ing. Your freedom is never curtailed. 
He has received word from those who 
have taken this work that the System 
taught by mail through "The College of 
Divine Sciences and Realization," the 
correspondence school, is superior in 
many ways to any other esoteric teach- 
ing. The language is less stuffed with 
Orientalisms, while his methods are 
scientific and adapted to the simplest 
minds. One physician, a student who 
took the System years ago, wrote that 
it is the System par excellence. 

His teachings are pure divine Sci- 
ence, presented in a way to appeal to 
the most enlightened as well as the un- 
informed. 

He is positively opposed to fortune 



telling and commercialism in New 
Thought. In his System the way is 
shown to the highest service, practically 
and spiritually. 

To commune or communicate con- 
sciously with our invisible, divine help- 
ers, even the Holy Spirit, is possible for 
each one, and it is far and away the best 
method and brings the most reliable, 
beneficent and happiest results. But — 
and mark the condition — one cannot ex- 
pect to succeed in becoming an adept, 
unless he lives the spiritual life. 

J. C. F. Grumbine is an expert in 
these branches of Divine Science and 
the New Psychology, and is famed the 
world over as a superior, conscientious 
and reliable teacher. The knowledge 

97 



he gives is a revelation in itself. He has 
been before the public since 1893. 

Divine Science Versus Christian 
Science. 

Divine Science as taught by the 
System, is the foundation of Christian 
Science and is a science older than the 
Bible and is not glorifying or dependent 
upon the personality of a man or a 
woman. Without Divine Science there 
could be no Christian Science. The 
1 i System of Philosophy Concerning 
Divinity ' ' reveals the technique of Di- 
vine Healing (for which we are in- 
formed by Christian Scientists them- 
selves, Christian Science charges $100), 
in a language so clear and simple and 
demonstrations so practical and irre- 

98 



sistible, that any intelligent person can 
grasp them. 

The Order of the White Rose 

A School with a Destiny — An Order 

which is Rosicrucian — Founded 

in 1894. 

The Series or System by Mail. 

The five series of revealed teachings 
comprehending the System apply to 
human needs, because man is essentially 
divine. If spiritual unfoldment or di- 
vine realization is not possible under 
the direction of this System, then there 
is little hope for the human race. Pre- 
paration to perceive and receive the 
truth is from within. By a psycholog- 
ical process and psychological formulae, 

99 



evidences and demonstrations are ac- 
complished. 

Each one who seeks expression of 
supernormal powers and the realization 
of one's divinity, can have it, because 
each one is divine. 

Mysticism and Rosicrucianism. 

The Hermetic Law, Theosophy, Bib- 
lical Mysteries, the Vedanta Philos- 
ophy, and Rosicrucianism are fully ex- 
plained in the System. 

Psychism. 

Your hidden psychical powers are 
made manifest sanely by this System, 
if rules are applied. Obsessions, con- 
trol, trances, unconsciousness, are dis- 
countenanced. The System affirms per- 
100 



sonal sovereignty, self-mastery, con- 

ciousness, freedom in the highest sense. 

Normal Course. 

A normal course follows the System. 
This course furnishes the key to the 
hidden wisdom of the Bible, also to all 
symbols, myths, allegories, numbers, 
the cabala and occult psychology. 
Words of Praise. 

"Dr. Grumbine drew from all who 
had the pleasure of hearing him, noth- 
ing but admiration and praises. As 
teacher and lecturer he is par-excel- 
lence. Scholarly, philosophic, profound, 
eloquent, inspirational, yet withal lucid 
and easy to follow, both on the platform 
and in class work, he is one of the most 

impressive teachers yet to come before 
101 



the Omaha New Thought Fellowship. 
From the 1st to the 12th of January, a 
course of New Thought Lectures was 
given in the Fellowship audience room, 
by Dr. J. C. F. Grumbine of Boston. 

"As an instructor of the New 
Thought, Dr. Grumbine is very patient, 
there being nothing cheap or frivolous 
in his methods. He has a message for 
the world and he feels it his duty (pro- 
vided that is the appropriate word to 
use) , to proclaim it in all sincerity. His 
ideals are of the spiritual type: his phil- 
osophy is cosmic in cast and impersonal 
in spirit. As a New Thoughtist, he gives 
the student the advantage of all good 
things to be found in every branch of 
learning; as a student and teacher of 

102 



the 'New Psychology' he unfolds the 
mystery of being on the three planes of 
matter, mind and spirit, in such terms 
and with such wealth of thought and re- 
search as to make his lectures veritable 
treasuries of physical, occult and spir- 
itual knowledge. He has sounded the 
depths and ascended the heights in that 
kingdom where the streets of life may 
be found, and beheld therein glories of 
the seen and unseen world, and so found 
a place where the illuminati, whose wis- 
dom is of inestimable value to less un- 
folded souls in their search for truth, 
the divine light of knowledge, and the 
laws of self-unfoldment. 

"In coming to Omaha, Dr. Grumbine 
made many friends and awakened some 

103 



minds to a deeper and sweeter percep- 
tion of the spiritual worth of each life, 
and lifted the veil for some eyes to be- 
hold the divine radiance of the soul im- 
mortal/' — The Fellowship Messenger. 

This interesting personal item from 
Mr. John H. Davis, of Columbus, 
Ohio, will be inspiring to new students. 
"I want to take this opportunity to 
thank you for the immense amount of 
benefit that I have received from 
personal contact with you, and hearing 
your instructive lectures which have 
aided me wonderfully in spiritual un- 
f oldment, which in turn has given me a 
broader outlook on life and a more com- 
plete understanding of my true relation- 

104 



ship to God and man, more wisdom and 
a much happier life."

ture engagements. Indulge delays.

TERMS. 

What are you doing to express or 
realize your Divinity? 

You are one of a large class who do 
not realize that you can develop super- 
normal powers and become master of 
the circumstances of your life. You 
can! We all possess supernormal fac- 
ulties and should express them. We are 
better off if we do. But where will this 

105 



class go, or turn for help? I add — to 
this System; first, because it is the only 
System of its kind that can help you. 
and secondly because The System as a 
Mail Course, with 56 Lessons, covers all 
the Conditions and Rules governing the 
Law, expression of Supernormalism. 

The lack in most Christian New 
Thoughtists, Divine Scientists, is a 
knowledge of Supernormal Psychology 
and Mystic Science of the Bible which 
eliminates such words as supernatur- 
alism, miracle and magic from their 
vocabulary, and enables them by Dr. 
Grumbine's system to positively know 
and demonstrate. 

The High School and University 
graduate, the Character Analyst, the 

106 



Psycho-Therapist, the mother or father 
who plans big things for their boys and 
girls, who, without a knowledge of their 
vocational adaptation in business or 
life, as well as the more spiritually 
minded, can find in the system the illu- 
mination they need to fit them for their 
life work.

WHAT IS NEW THOUGHT AND 

WHO IS THE NEW 

THOUGHTER? 

What is new Thought? 

1. It teaches that God is Spirit, with- 
in each one, omnipresent, omniscient, 
omnipotent, expressed in all conscious- 
ness and life as unchanging law, in both 
the natural and spiritual world. Our 
own Divinity should be sovereign. 

2. It teaches that pure and universal 
religion is impersonal and is the science 
of truth, of God demonstrable through 
one's own Divinity. 

3. It teaches that all Bibles, contain 
revelations of truth, but are not infall- 
ible as historical or doctrinal books. 

116 



4. It teaches that the Christ spirit 
wherever expressed, is the highest, pur- 
est, most perfect realization and meta- 
physical concept of the working prin- 
ciple of Divine love and life in mankind. 

5. It teaches that disease, failure, 
poverty are not the result of God's 
wrath and punishment, but of man's ig- 
norance and the limitations placed on 
his human and divine potentialities and 
prerogatives; and it affirms that when 
mankind lives the Christ life on earth, 
(the golden rule for service) and thinks 
and acts righteously, — poverty, disease 
and failure will pass away. This refers 
to economic, political and spiritual con- 
ditions. 

6. It teaches a demonstrable immor- 

117 



tality and conscious communion of 
spirit. This is New Thought in a nut- 
shell. 

Who is the New Thoughter? 
A New Thoughter is one who accepts 
the above, lives it in his life and sup- 
ports it by his presence and money. 

There are many groups of so-called 
New Thoughters who place special 
emphasis on one, two or more of the six 
propositions. 

Group One. 

The first group is the highest in spir- 
itual service and life who are absolute- 
ly living up to the five propostions. 
They subordinate their personal and 
selfish interests to the good of the com- 
mon movement and seek to live in the 

118 



Universal Spirit. They are trying to 
unite and fuse all centers into one homo- 
geneous and harmonious body of kin- 
dred hearts whose ideal is set on divine 
unity and unselfish human fellowship 
and service. They do not wish to pro- 
fit by the movement, to pose as speak- 
ers, healers and managers, but so to 
live and prepare themselves for the New 
Thought and Divine Science Ideal and 
Vision on earth as to be worthy to be 
called and chosen to serve whenever the 
voice of God calls them, and put under 
foot their own personal claims or wishes 
to be a leader or a mouthpiece of God ! 
Such are the true disciples and work- 
ers. These have not neglected to pre- 
pare themselves, so far as the demands 

119 



of the platform and field are concerned 
with the necessary education to make 
the ideal and the message they present 
acceptable. 

Group Two. 
Under group two must be classified 
all " babes in truth, " who use any given 
or established New Thought or Divine 
Science organization to know the law 
of freedom and truth, so that they can 
be of service to mankind. They may be 
attached or unattached to an orthodox 
church but who, unless wisely guided 
are sometimes misled to modify and 
tincture New Thought Philosophy with 
special confusing theories which they 
had once entertained and accepted when 
in the Christian Church, and which now 



120 



are so deeply imbedded in their subcon- 
scious minds that the word " freedom" 
is easily translated into the word " bon- 
dage/ ' in which their peculiar views, 
personal opinions and idiosyncracies as 
to what New Thought should be are 
predominant. Instead of accepting 
truth for authority, they unconsciously 
or consciously accept authority for 
truth. Unless these " babes in truth" 
can be fully enlightened and made to 
surrender these false and personal 
theories for the Universal Divine Spirit 
and God consciousness, they will sooner 
or later strike the danger reefs of sec- 
tarianism and dogmatism which lurk in 
the shallow waters of personal views 

and experiences. 

121 



Group Three. 

This group includes the self lovers 
and seekers who call themselves "New 
Thoughters" and yet fail to hold up 
their hands to be counted or to give 
their money to support the movement. 
They, perhaps, buy a book or two on 
New Thought, subscribe for a popular 
New Thought periodical, attend a New 
Thought meeting when a new teacher 
or healer enters a city, but never identi- 
fy themselves or cooperate with any 
organized center. They are the "news- 
paper New Thoughters", who "want 
what they want when they want it". 
Group Four. 

Then there is the last group, which 

furnish the spurs, inspirations and lit- 
122 



erature of New Thought and Divine 
Science Movement, whose teachers 
teach freedom of thought in all depart- 
ments of knowledge, and are represen- 
tative pioneers of that liberalism which 
limits no one and yet does not attempt 
to confine truth to any one " personal" 
idea, viewpoint, center, Bible, interpre- 
tation or experience, but includes in 
their thought and love all who differ 
with them. These teachers see good 
and affirm the truth in all religions, 
philosophies, science and do not narrow 
the truth to what some, in their ignor- 
ance and prejudices, maintain to be all 
there is of truth, because they think it. 

123 



A Final Word. 

Success comes to those who know 
and apply the law. Truth will triumph 
over all adversaries. Each one must 
learn by dear bought experience the dif- 
ference between " human' ' opinions and 
1 ' divine ' ? truth, between ' ' human ' ' lead- 
ing and l i divine ' ' guidance. It will take 
time to educate the ignorant and inex- 
perienced in divine knowledge, but that 
is the work of the patient, sincere, 
consecrated leaders. So long as we get 
rid of selfishness, ignorance, envy, self- 
seeking and self-praise, the advance and 
prosperity of the movement is assured. 
But our duty is to be loyal to the Spirit 

124 



of Truth, which commands us to sacri- 
fice the personal for the Universal and 
our own selfish interests and opinions 
for the one Divine Center of truth and 
love, within each one where unity and 
harmony alone can obtain.
